Cool, can't help id it but looks neat hope it is something good and not a pest. Wonder if its some type of anemone.

 

[ryanlotz5]

From what I understand it is an anemone with a vicious sting

Corynactis is not an anemone

 

[ryanlotz5]

Cornynactis aka strawberry anemone !!!

How would it have just popped up out of nowhere though? And how big will it get?

Idk my girlfriends tank got a few of those when she got new live rock I was told by my lfs to remove it but I've heard otherwise I heard mostly to zoas there dangerous but there slow to populate unlike apitasia so really you can do either lol

Im gonna have to research it...i like the way it looks and if its not of any harm to anything else then i will probably keep it

 

[jweed9379]

I found another one and i believe they are gonna have to come out...im pretty sure they are pseudocorynactis (or however you spell it) and in that case multiply by fission and when large enough pack a powerful sting and will catch and eat your fish, and if im not mistaken they are soft corals not anemones...does anyone no for certain that they are something else? I would like to keep them but i will not if they are any danger to my fish or my condy

This looks like anemone...

Its a Strawberry Nem and should be removed from your tank. They multiply, but don't overtake your tank like normal Aiptasia will do. You would kill it like you would any other Aiptasia.

How can i go about removing it
